This video was great help! My kitchen sink fell, and nobody reattaches under mount sinks around here. I followed the instructions and got it done myself. Thank you so very much!!
Totally wrong advice here. The sink will fall again in the future. Once the sink is siliconed and raised up, sink support brackets should have been installed and the job can be finished the same day. It seems to me the reason this sink fallen was the same reason the way this guy installed in the first place.
Alright now.. how you only got 783 subscribers and got a full blown rap with a beat made singing about you and your services? Was that you singing and made the song? That's pretty slick! So in other videos they show a 2 part epoxy for this sort of setup + silicone caulking to form that gasket. What is the diff between that and this method using the putty? In my case it is my porcelain kitchen sink (double size no middle divider just one big open sink) that is dangling.
Lmao, I'm happy you like it. Idk, but you can make it 784 😁. So, in your case, the kitchen sink is much heavier. I made another video that I attached to the cards after this video that shows you how to install some clips. Epoxy is almost like making the sink one with the countertop and would make it almost impossible to remove in the future. But on the plus side, it would never fall again. So, in other words, in your case, I would install clips and use the silicone that I use in the video if you are planning on possibly switching out the sink in the future. Or put some epoxy on the bad boy and never have to worry about it falling again.
good job Jimmy on putting in the sink and clips. I have never seen how an undermount is installed. You video helped a lot. I am about to be a first time owner of an undermount sink in the kitchen. I am using my husband's laptop. Does your company provide services in the Dallas Ft. Worh area of TX?
I do stone restorations and repairs on a daily. Im sorry but this sink installation is incorrect by me. If the sink is ONLY held by glue, silicone, caulk, epoxy IT's WRONG... It will fall sooner or later. There should be either wood on each side of the sink or steel brackets from the original fabricator holding this thing up. That sink fell because the only thing that held it was adhesive... Same thing is bound to happen.
Thanks for the comment. I made a video installing the cipls at this link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TKQFvFuCUts.htmlsi=y4rKlbqqxMGNohP0
Not a bad video on installing the under-counter sink. Like some of the others though, I think I would have to have the brackets to provide better support. I just don't think silicone alone will do the job. There are several different types of brackets that you can use. I'm about to install a new granite countertop and sink. I'm going to use the type of bracket that you epoxy to the counter.
Thanks for watching the video! I added a video on me installing the clips if you want to check it out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TKQFvFuCUts.htmlsi=0YO9gI8hdMDLuFyh
So let me get this straight, that sink failed and you saw fit to just replicate the same thing over again 🤔 that sink rim should have been sanded clean after you removed the old silicone, then wiped with denatured alcohol, then epoxy resin, not more silicone, should have been used to remount the sink. And why not explain to the homeowner about that p trap and redo it the correct way?
The contractor that did my teacher renovation did not put brackets like this and now about 6 years later I noticed the sink coming off. In addition to that , the crinkle tubing is 100% wrong. Food particles are going to get caught in the crinkle it always should be hard pipe.
I just had to replace my garbage disposal and I tried the snapping technique and it didn't work unfortunately. Great videos though. That's a nice faucet.
You forgot to let the air out of the tank after refilling it so that way you dont take a chance a blowing an element by dry firing it. I’m sure you already know that but most home owners dont.
Thank you so much for this video. I would have hired you if you lived in my area. My plumber said they don't reattach sinks. They'll only undo the plumbing. With your video, it saved me about $450-500 dollars. I did it all myself. Your innovative mounting jack was so handy. Thanks. I shared this video with all my friends. Can't wait for how to fix the accordion pipes. 💚🤍❤
Can the dark PVC of the drain underneath and even a white section of PVC too, support the drain with thre bottom wood block up against it? My sink is only sagging on one side. In afraid to take the whole drain mechanism out. I’d rather just put 100% silicone in the 1” gap and use your method to hold it back up. Once dry, I’ll also add a belt and bracket to the back of the cabinet. I wonder if the wood block can go against the pvc pipes below the drain without removing them or if the pvc will crack to pieces. My drain underneath has a lever that moves a little metal thing up and down inside, and after disconnecting the p trap, I realize I could get the 3/8” long threaded thing in the drain, but I’d still have the dark PVC below the drain and also some white PVC section, could I just put the bottom wood piece below and let the weight rest on the PVC black and white parts?
I wouldn't hire this guy as a plumber, how long is a sink that heavy gonna last without falling in again like before, Ever heard of mounting brackets? that caulk isn't enough to hold that heavy of a sink long term.
If my bathroom sink is down like an inch on one side but the other side is still secure. It’s not loose if I push down but loose enough to push back up. Can I just put silicone in the 1” gaps on the sagging side and use your method to secure it or do I need to redo the whole thing? And 100% silicone is that a glue? Shouldn’t a more solid glue be used? What adhesive would you recommend? What about super glue?
That’s how they install my kitchen sink and it fell in less than a year. So his video just shows you how glue will let go after a year I don’t see a permanent solution in his fix.
Thank you for creating this video! My 1-year-old bathroom vanity's undermount sink detached yesterday!! H D purchase. Checked their website and saw A LOT of customer's reviews with pictures with the same issue!! I did call customer service and they are looking into a solution with the fabricator for me. If they can't have someone fix my problem THIS is the way I will do the repair myself!! Jimmy, any additional thoughts on a bead of liquid nails instead or with the bead of 100% silicone??✌
Jobs looks good but it will fail again. They make brackets that also need to be used here. Two part epoxy is used to hold the brackets to the counter next to the sink
I didn’t see you structurally support the sink from the bottom so you mean to tell me the silicone is the only thing holding the sink up. Like before it will fail and drop. And the drain pipe is called corrugated not accordion 😂😂😂😂.
